بضع

مِبْضَعٌ مبضع A lancet; an instrument with which a vein is cut: (S, Mgh, * K, TA:) and [ a currier's knife ] with which leather is cut: (S, TA:) [pl. مَبَاضِعُ: accord. to the Mirkát el-Loghah, as cited by Golius, it signifies a farrier's fleam; differing from مِشْرَطٌ, which signifies a surgeon's lancet: but this distinction is probably post-classical; for accord. to the TA, these two words signify the same.]
